Hello again looks like I'm treading into dangerous ground with all road teams today,
ATS
NO +7.5 - Same as usual here, value play betting against the public Lakers. The line appears about 2.5 to 3 points too high. Also, the Lakers still have no Bynum or Gasol.
GS -3.5 - Sacramento coming off a back to back (and a surprising win); they're still without their leading scorer. Golden State is better than their record indicates and coming off of an embarrassing loss to the Clippers. Like the zigzag action here.
Pho -1.5 (I'm going to wait and fade the line movement to see if I can get a better price; disregard this, line started to move the other way, so I grabbed it at 1.5) - this is an odd game. All the numbers I use (and I mean literally all of them) have Phoenix winning this by at least 2 points, with the average being Pho -3.5 (this generallly never happens for me). Usually I would expect a Pho -5 type line to start here, then sharps pounding Was down. However, the line opened fairly sharp at Pho -2 and is now getting hit towards Washington, who's still without Arenas and now Mike Miller. Zigzag goes against Phoenix here, and they're likely the more high profile team, I just can't figure out this line. Thoughts welcome here before I lay the bet.
Edit: Thanks for the correction Vard, I meant Jamison.
O/U
Pho/Was: U216
GS/Sac: U215.5
